Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S. Gov’t report
Royal
ABSOLUTELY PURE
(We print l>elow a denial from Mr.
George Miller, of Baltimore We
apologize to onr readers for using bo
■uch of the space The delay has been
aura. We desire to avoid any charge
of unfairness, and so give Mr. Miller's
letter, in the main, with the exgeukpn
of a diagram of the badge and a nnfit'Of
the song and the long resolutions pre
aented at Atlanta and at Washington.
These trespass altogether too much on
the space at command. We do not de
sire to comment mnch on the denial,
but leave its spirit and misapprehen
■ions to speak for themselves. The
most serious mistake is in regard to
the Dallas Convention Some of ns
were in that debate and Mr. Miller’s
construction of it will be news indeed
It was probably an inadvertence that
confines Mr. Miller’s denial to what oc
curred in the Board, when the papers
explicitly state that most of the re
marks were made after the adjourn
ment of the morning session. The re
porter must have possessed a phenome
nal imagination, and one of remarks
ble direction for a man living so far
from ns. We have never sought to
make capital for the Southern Union,
but to condemn such proceedings We
have received more approbation from
friends of the B Y P. U. A than from
any other source. We have so earnestly
sought the truth that we have secured
detailed statements from the reporter,
who asserts the truth of his report.
It is possibly more dangerous to talk
outside of Board meetings than in them. |
To the Editors of the Christian In
dex. Atlanta. Ga:
My attention has just been called to a
vigorous editorial in your issue of the
23d ultimo, entitled “Needing Com
ment. " in which yon criticize my action
at Milwaukee and my present intellect
nal status, and discuss at considerable
length, extracts of a speech printed in
the Evening Wiscnnxin. said to have
besn delivered by me before the Board
of Managers of the Baptist Young
People s Union of America at the recent
Milwaukee Convention.
It seems to me a reply is necessary,
not because of your pers >nal attacks on
me, because such expressions as are
curtained in your editorial are alto
gether unbecoming editors of a relig
ious newspaper, but because it not only
grossly misrepresents me, but also the
Board of Managers of the Baptist Young
People s Union of America, and being
prompted by a sense of fairness to the
Baptist, of the South, the B Y. P U.
A and the denomination at large, is it
that I make a reply
i It would appear that you should have
fortified yourselves with the absolute
facts in the premises and not have ac
cepted the publication of a daily paper,
totally ignorant of the affairs of the
organization then in session, striving
to outfoot its competitors for news.
The quotations were the purported
proceedings of the Board of Managers,
meeting in private session, and the
copies of its paper were in form, printed
and sold on the streets before the meet
ing adjourned Permit me then to say
that you were in error in accepting
the Evening report. It was a
reporter’s story, and shows how accu
rately one can write from imagination
on a subject being discussed behind the
closed doors of a committee room. It
was written and unreviewed by any
body in a position to know the truth and
it was corrected in the next issue of
that same journal.
It was untrue in the following par
ticulars: I positively deny having said
“ tor four years Maryland had a trai
tor etc.," for if I had it would have
been untrue, as I know of no one now
or heretofore in Maryland to whom
much an epithet could be applied, the
Rev. L L. Henson alone having repre
vented Marylan I for four years in the
Internationl organizaton
I trust this effectually explains and
dispose* of “ this most abominable in
justice and misstatement "
Again I just as emphatically deny
having said This new organization is
a secession." 1 did use the word seces
won, but per contra, 1 laid all emphasis
ob the fact that it was not a secession,
for its leaders were never allied with us,
and endeavored to show that some of
those, now most aggressive in further
ing the new organization, had not only
been lacking in sympathy for the Bap
tist Young People’s Union of America
but were known opponents to young
people's societies of every name.
Again the statement concerning the
amending of the report of the Board of
Managers is also incorrect and untrue.
I feel in duty bound to place before
your readers some facte in the case, to
the end that there be no misunderstand
ing as to my true position in this mat
ter. or the position of Maryland, the
State it was my great privilege to rep
resent at the convention.
Ever since the first time a separate
Southern B. Y. P U. was talked of,
Maryland has set her face steadfastly
against such a movement, believing
that no go id purpose would be served
by such a separate organization, but on
the contrary would only tend to engen
Her sectional feeling and keep apart the
great hosts of Baptist young people
who were so rapidly organizing in every
•ection of our country, under the ban
ner of the Baptist Young People’s Union
of America, thus becoming a mighty
force for good and for the promulga
tion of our distinctive denominational
principles in every section of our great
country.
So thoroughly did the Bap ists of
Maryland believe in the wisdom of
maintaining intact the national organi
sation that at the conference held in
Washington, D. C , in May. '95, imme
diately before the assembling of the
Southern Baptist Cm mention Maryland
put herself on record by presenting a
a set of resolu ions winch were passed
unanimously by the Executive Commit
tee of the Baltimore Convention of the
Baptist Young Peoples Union of
America (As the resolutions were nev
er read to that conference, thej’ are im
material and are omitted.)
Our position in this matter is voiced
in the resolution passed at the annual
meeting of the Southern Baptist Con
vention which reads as follows:
“ [which can be read by referring to the
minutes of that convention ]"
As the call was issued for a meeting
in Atlanta, inviting only such who
favored a distinctive Southern Union,
the Maryland State Baptist Young
People’s Union at its annual meeting
passed other resolutions of like
import which, bv the way, were
Mt drafted by ’‘inresponsible young
men ” but by one ot the oldest and most
conservative Baptists of Maryland and
by a man who has possibly done more
r» al work in the interest of the South
ern Baptist Convention than any one
man of to-day. the Rev. Franklin Wil-
son, DD. These resolutions were pre
sented at Atlanta by Rev. Howard
Wayne Smith and myself
“THE OBJECTION A BLR RESOLUTIONS
PRESENTED AT MILWAUKEE.”
Just before the recent convention at
Milwaukee the Executive Committee of
the Maryland State Baptist Young Peo
ple’s Union again passed resolutions di
recting the attention of the Board of
Managers of the Baptist Young People's
Union of America to the above set of
resolutions previously passed by the
State B. Y. P U.at its annual meet
ing which read as follows:
“To the Board of Managers B. Y. P.
I’ A
“Dear Brethren:- Because of the
great esteem in which we hold the B.
Y. P. U A., and our appreciation of its
great power for good, in educating and
developing the multitudes of yonng
Baptists within our beloved Southland,
we have determined as the Executive
Committee of the B Y. P. U. of Mary
land to set before your body the
views of our people ami to presume to
suggest what seems to uh would further
your purposes for our department.
“ First then, we refer to the resolu
tions passed at the meeting of our State
Union last October as expressive of our
sentiments concerning the inexpediency
of dividing our national strength in
this special work of our denomination,
therefore
2. “We earnestly advocate (a) the
c mtinuance of the Department of the
Green, (b) That our paper should ex
ert all its influence to extend the Inter
national Union throughout the South,
and (c) That our general officers, by
visitation, correspondence, advice and
distribution of literature throughout
the South, encourage every effort made
toward such extension."
SOME OK THE THINGS I DID SAY.
1 did say that the Southern organiza
tion is the outgrowth of a sectional
spirit, and I here emphatically reiter
ate it; I do not say that everybody in
the new movement has joined because
of sectionalism, f< r it would be folly in
me to determine the motives influencing
them.
I do not charge that the prime factors
or original agitators were influenced by
sectionalism, and it would fill the col
umns of your paper were I to try and
quote only some of the remarks made by
the originators of this movement, both
from personal and public writings; but
as this same thing has been exhaustive
ly discussed during the past year, and
as everybody is familiar with, and
knows the above to be facts, I will not
tire your readers with a rehearsal of the
records on this point.
Furthermore. I did say that the Bap
tists of the South did not want this new
organization, but that it was forced into
existence by these few men who were
determined to have their own way. On
this point it was also impossible for any
one to contradict me, for I appeal again
to the records to prove my assertion.
1 The Southern Baptist Convention
at Dallas meeting voted down the mo
tion to organize a separate Young Peo
ple's Union and the minutes of that Con
vention so give the results
2. At the Washington Conference the
day previous to the meetings of the
Southern Baptist Convention, where by
an overwhelming majority, the dele
gates, who had been sent by their
churches, especially to vote on this im
portant question, voted against the for
mation of a separate Young People’s or
ganization.
Seeing that it was useless for them to
try again in the Southern Baptist Con
vention, but, being determined in their
effort, they called a special meeting in
Atlanta and the call was so worded that
no one opposed to the “scheme' was al
lowed on the floor,and woull be prompt
ly declared out of order should they at
tempt to speak. These things are true,
and furthermore had the opposition been
allowed to speak, it never would have
been possible for them to organize, even
at Atlanta.
1 am opposed to the Southern Union
from principle, based upon the above
facts, and cannot affiliate with it.and at
the same time I have the assurance that
I stand with the great majority of our
denomination in the South.
So mnch for the “offensive speech."
Allow me, however, to say that had you
displayed the same zeal toward ascer
taining the truthfulness of the remarks
attributed to me, by the Evening II is
ctnisin.as you have shown toward making
capital through your columns for the
“Southern Union. ” you would not have
written that editorial and sent it forth
on its errand of mischief.
You will observe that I have paid no
attention to the personal attacks. Ido
not believe that crimination or recrim
ination will strengthen the argument on
either side, but am convinced that your
readers will not care to learn either your
opinion of me or mine of you. Nor do I
think it in harmony with the injunction
of our Master “to love one another," or
with that of his great apostle, who en
joins ns, “to love as brethren—-be cour
teous. ” But it is directly in violation to
“judge not. that ye be not judged."
Mv only aim is to have your readers
and the denomination generally, inform
ed as to the true status of this matter,
and with this article, my aim having
been accomplished, I shall, with confi
dence, hope for the speedy coming of
that glorious time when “loyalty to
Christ" shall overcome sectional divi
sion, and when our young people, with
unbroken ranks, shall present a solid
front to our spiritual enemies.
Yours respectfully,
George Miller.
Dublin Notes.—The electric lights
have been turned on. the water works
will soon be in operation and Dublin is
beginning to assume city airs.
Some good, honest talk is being made
o" a telephone system for our town. It
will probably connect with Macon and
Hawkinsville
Quite a goodly number of persons are
prospecting for homes in and about
Dublin, and not a few good, enterpris
ing citizens have already settled among
us. Some of these are elegant and use
ful Baptist folks. To all of their kind,
and to every good citizen we say, come
and welcome.
The Children’s Missionary Day will
be observed at Donaldson next week;
the writer hopes to attend.
Revs. H T. and J. T. Smith, both of
Dublin, are good preachers—faithful
and true men Each has some time un
occupied . Any church needing a past. r
for one or more Sundays will do well to

The General Meeting, First District,
Georgia Assci-iation, met with Well’s
Creek church. Lincoln county, Tuesday,
September Bth. The introductory ser
mon was preache<l by Bro. W. A. Ho
gan—theme, Justification by Grace.
Messengers were reported from thirteen
churches, the entire district being rep
resented
In the afternoon Bro. J. L. Guille
beau read an essay on “Tbe Object of
Church Membership.” Un Wednesday
morning Bro. Wilmer Harnesberger
read an essay on ‘ The Relation of the
Churches to the World,” which elicited
much discussion. Dr. J. H. Kilpatrick
gave us a fine sermon from Titus 2d
chapter 11-12 13 and 1-1 verses. He was
followed by Bro R. E. L. Harris At
the close of this service. Bro. T. A.
Nash gave a brief history of the church,
which is poor and of only a few years
growth He told of efforts to complete
their house of worship, and appealed to
the large congregation for help, and the
sum of $14,00 was given for the church.
In the afternoon the question,
“Should we Invite Ministers not of
our Faith and Order into our Pulpits?”
was opened by Bro J. E. L. Roy. This
led to some discussion among the breth
ren. The last essay on the program
was led by Bro. P. W. Late, subject,
“Is it a Breach of Gospel Order for a
Church Member to Refuse to Com
mune ?” The next meeting will lie
held with the Flint Hill church, Mc-
Duffie county.

Greenesboro.— Pastor G. W. Arga
brite, of Madison, has been helping pas
tor Gambrell, of Greenesboro, in a con
tinued meeting of several days. Large
crowds have been in attendance. Broth
er Argabrite is a fine singer and a splen
did helper in revival meetings. The
Greenesboro people appreciate his val
uable help. Pastors and churches need
ing the very best of assistance of this
kind will do well to write Bro. Arga
brite, Madison, Ga.
Many of our best people and most
careful thinkers indorsefully the article
by “Observer,"on the first page of the
Index of September lOtb. Numbers
believe that a violation of these princi
pies will in almost every instance tend
to bring trouble upon the churches and
upon the ministry.
Mrs Sarah Branch, one of the best
women in our county, is confined to 1 r
room owing to the infirmities of old age;
but she still continues to read the In
dex with great interest and satisfac
tion. She has recently renewed her
subscription for another year.
Ths Greenesboro church is now send
ins on a good collection for State Mis
sions.
The Thomas Stocks Institute open d
with 105 scholars on September 7th.
Numbers of others have come in since
that time. Under Prof. Ballard s man
agement the Institute is very prosper

Mrs T. A. Branch and Mr. Joshua
Mitchell were added to Greenesboro
church by experience, and Capt L B.
Willis by restoration, during the recent
continued meeting
When the Greenesboro Baptists get
their new house of worship built and
when we have a quietus placed on po
litical matters, the religions outlook in
our city will be more encouraging.

Damascus —Please find inclosed four
dollars the writer has collected for
your grand old paper, and he hopes by
the next writing to have more. The
pastor who does not work for the In
dex stands in his own light, and will
be sure to complain of a cold church
and small salary.
1 believe the good cause is making
progress slowly in Southwestern Geor
gia. Leary church is matching toward
the front: they have bought a new
organ and paid for it, and organized a
Sabbath-school, since their revival in
July. The good Lord gave us a beauti
ful young lady organist during the
meeting. Since that time a music
school has developed another. Let the
Lord be praised.
Milford church is following suit. The
revival tide lifted her off the sand bar
and set her traveling once more. They
have repaired the old organ and organ
ized a Sabbath-school to teach little
children the fear of the Lord.
Both these churches had been with
out Sabbath schools and instrumental
music for several years.
Notchiway church has been steadily
progressing about five years. It has
been located near the banks of the
Notchiway < reek, from which it de
rived its name. This year the brethren
moved their place of worship about
three miles, and have just completed a
nice and commodious building for wor
ship that would do honor to any city of
ten thousand inhabitants. These
brethren live in the country, and some
distance from the railroad, but they do
not beg the whole Baptist fraternity
when they want to do a good thing.
They put their hands in their pockets
and doit. Yet they are always ready
to help others that call on them. They
honor the God that gives them prop
erty. The writer has been their pastor
six years, and last meeting accepted
the call for the seventh.

Dear Index.—We have recently
do ed meetings with the following
churches viz.:
Roopville church, a meeting of six
days. The church much benefited, and
four added to her membership upon pro
session of faith.
The church at Buchanan has enjoyed
a season of revival, twenty-two having
joined by experience. The church is
much encouraged, and feels strength
ened for greater work in the Master's
cause.
The church at Bowdon enj iyeda meet
ing of seven days with good results.
Five received into the fellowship of the
church by experience. Prospect of
greater success in the near future.
Pleasant Grove church also enjoyed
a very pleasant and profitable meeting
of six days. Five were added to her
membership upon profession of faith.
These churches all contribute monthly

only competent teachers.
Biographical—Rev. Larkin J.
Crutcher.
Dear Index: I place at your
disposal some facts regarding the
brother whose name heads this.
He was born in Robertson coun
ty, Tenn , July 23, 1328; was con
verted in his seventeenth year
and commenced at once to labor
publicly in prayer and exhorta
tion. At what date he was li
censed I do not know, but he was
young. He was ordained Aug.
24, 1851, a few days after he was
twenty-three years old. His or
dination was at the request of the
Second Baptist church, Nash
ville, Tenn.,of which he was pas
tor for awhile. Brother Crutcher
was educated at Union Universi
ty, Murfreesboro, Tenn., while
Dr. Joseph H. Eaton was Presi
dent.
Subsequent to his graduating
his labors for the most part were
in the territory of the Bethel As
sociation, which then included
nearly ail the territory covered
now by the Cumberland Associa
tion in Tennessee, till 1876, when
he removed to Texas. In 1883
he engaged in frontier mission
work in Texas, under the direc
tion of Dr. A. J. Holt, and con
tinned in this work for six years.
His wife says, “This work neces
sitated so much exposure that he
contracted throat disease and
could no longer bear the almost
constant winds of that climate.
In 1894 hecame to Georgia,where
he was employed by the Mercer
and Bowen Associations as mis
sionary, indoctrinating feeble
churches, especially in missions
and pastoral support.” He was
remarkably successful in this
work, and brethren Parker and
White have written sister Crutch
er that their loss is irreparable,
as far as they can see. He liter
ally “diedin the harness.” He
preached at Philadelphiachurch,
not far from Quitman, on Thurs
day, Sept. 3, where he was aid
ing in a meeting. He went home
with a brother, and after supper
they were discussing the inter
ests of themeeting, when sudden
ly he complained of pain about
his heart, and in an hour or so he
was dead. When leaving home
the last time he said to his wife,
“I feel perfectly well every hour
in the day.”
He leaves a devoted wife and
three sons. Most sincerely can
I testify to the fidelity,'orthodoxy,
and more than average ability of
elder Crutcher. He died among
strangers comparatively, but to
me he was well known. Our fath
ers were friends, we were natives
of the same county, were proba
bly converted the same year,
commenced breaching at about
the same and often labored
together. He honored the pro
session he made in his youth for
over fifty years, and honored
his vocation nearly as long.
“Servant of God, well done,
Rest from thy loved employ."

A Christian Workers' School.
At the regular monthly meet
ing of the Executive Committee
of the New Ebenezer Associa
tion, in June last, a Christian
Workers’ School for wiregrass
Georgia was considered a neces
sity. A special committee con
sisting of J. W. Witherington,
W. J. Benton, B. J W. Graham
and J. C. Brewton, was appoint
ed to consider the advisability of
the enterprise, and if thought to
be wise, appoint the school, se
lect location, and elect a teacher.
The committee considered the
undertaking wise, located the
school at Eastman,Ga., to begin
December Ist, 1896, to run two
months. Rev. B. D. Ragsdale,
D. D., a scholarly man, fearless
teacher, and strong theologian,
was elected as teacher. Rev. J.
C. Brewton was appointed to
make the necessary local ar
rangements for the school.
In appliance with my appoint
ment, I wish to make the follow
ing announcements:
First, the magnificent Uplands
Hotel has been secured as mess
hall and lecture room. The ho el
has over 100 bedrooms, parlor,
hall, dining-room and kitchen.
A sufficient number of these
rooms will be supplied with new
furniture and beds, the dining
room with table-ware, and the
kitchen with stove and utensils,
for all who attend the school.
All free oj charge.
Second, each student will be
expected to bring two blankets
or quilts, two sheets, a pillow
and whatever he desires for the
toilet.
Third, our best efforts will be
made to secure a competent per
son to act as matron of the dress
hall. Os course it is expected
that the students will pay the
matron and the servants.
Fourth, several sets of choice
commentaries, encyclopedias,
dictionaries, and other good
books, black-boards, maps, and
soforth, will be placed in the ho
tels for the benefit of the stu
dents.
Fifth, those who prefer board
ing can get good accommodations
near the Uplands. But we ad
vise all to stay at the mess hall
as everything will be cheap, con
venient and comfortable. Those
who -come to stay but a few days
stop and at the mess hall will be
charged at the discretion of the
regular students.
Sixth, the course of study will
be satisfactory to all who come
to learn. Bro. Rvgsdale will con
duct every part of the course of
study in a dignified and useful
line. He wi 1 have what help he
needs in the way of lectures.
You may rest assured that every
thing will be done that is possi
ble for the benefit of the students
by the teacher.
Seventh, please take this
school under consideration at
once and arrange to be here at
the opening. Write me as soon
as you decide to come, so I may
have everything ready for you
when you get here. For further
information write me.
Eighth, let it be remembered
that this school is not exclusive
ly for preachers, but for all
Christian workers who desire to
attend. We hope to have many
preachers and laymen in attend
ance.
This is a rare opportunity for
you. Don’t fail to come. Rich
things are in store for you. Don’t
miss them. Churches, send your
pastors. Pastor?, bring some of
your workers with you. We feel
sure that living will not exceed
f7 or & per month, and that the
course of study will be all you
can wish for. We anticipate your
presence. We will be disap
pointed if you don t come. We
mean for you to come. We will
give our self to you if you
will come. We want the privi
lege of serving you, not as teach
er, but as servant, to make you
pleasant, comfortable and happy.
Your servant,
J. C. Brewton.
From Dr. R J. Willingham.
Dear Brethren in Georgia:
—For some time past I have not
called to you for I knew that
“money was scarce.” But you are
now realizing on your crops, and
if ever you can give, you can do
so now. Sometimes after a long
drouth the little streams dry up,
and the rivers get very low.
Many of our streams dried up
through the summer, and our re
ceipts have run very low. If all
of the little streams commence
to flow, a great current will be
produced. Will you not your
self give something, acd try to
get your church to raise at least
ten cants a member for Foreign
Missions. The banks decline to
let us have more money, and the
missionaries who hive faithfully
toiled ought to be paid. You
and your church can help. Peo
ple wonder why the boards are
in debt, and forget that the cause
is right at their doors. Has
your church given for Foreign
Missions since the Southern Bap
tist Convention ? If so, has she
done her full duty? Our mis
sionaries have been hard at work
and greatly blessed. They must
be supported. With September
we finish five months of our Con
vention year. We have asked,
and ask again, pastors and
churches to come to the help of
the work. There is not a church
in our bounds which cannot give
at least ten cents a member dur
ing October for this work. Many
can easily send more. Will not
brethren give their time and
effort, as well as their money, to
see that a contribution is made,
and thus help forward the work
of our Mister, which needs help
right now. And, brethren, are
we praying for the work as we
should ’ Let us plead with God
for his guidance, and help and
blessing
Fraternally,

Statesboro.—During a meeting of
days at Conoochee Academy. Emanuel
county, a Baptist church was constitut
ed. On September 7th a number of
brethren and sisters met for the pur
nose. After preaching by Elder Jos.
W. Smith on the subject, “The Nature
and Purpose ot a Church,” a council
was organized with Elder Jos. W.
Smith moderator and Bro. Emmet
Coleman clerk. The biethren and sis
ters then presented themselves with let
ters. They accepted the usual covenant,
articles of faith and rules of decorum
and were declared a church, after the
hand of recognition had been given.
The church then organized by elect
ing Brethren Hill and Roberts deacons,
who were duly ordained, and Elder
Wm. Cowart pastor. The charge to
the church was delivered by Bro. Cow
art and that to the deacons by Bro.
Smith. The church was named New
Conoochee. It is tbe outcome of Bro.
Cowart’s labors. The community is
strong and there is opportunity for the
doing of much good. JS.
